Back to Open Mic

George Hanlon put together a very cool version of this song a few years ago, and Sergio and I knew we had to include a Sergio version on the CD. Thank you to the radio stations that have played this track, including, most recently, KDHX in St. Louis, WPRB in Princeton, N.J., WDBX in Carbondale, Il, and the web stations Gooney Bird Kids and DFSXRadio.

Music by George Hanlon
Lyrics by Jeff Mondak
Performed by Sergio Wals, Alex Stangl, Dona-Gene Mitchell and Jeff Mondak

See if you can figure out who my favorite poet is!

Daddy's making dinner
I've seen it all before
French fries black and burning
And meatloaf on the floor

Daddy's making dinner
The sugar bowl just broke
Fido ate the gravy
The House has filled with smoke

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Daddy's making dinner
And that's all right with me

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not one to moan
Soon he will surrender
And go pick up the phone

Daddy made the dinner
Today's my lucky day
Dinner's in the trash can
And pizza's on the way!

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Daddy's making dinner
And that's all right with me

Daddy made the dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Dinner's in the trash can
It's pizza night for me

Hey, what kid wouldn't giggle to hear this tune?!
This is all compounded by Sergio's special accent! Yep, I can identify with this.

Very Fun! Love the guitar & the voice :) yum! Enjoyable all over! Lucky for me, my husband's a better cook than I am, so my son can't sing this song honestly...I'm usually the one who gets the pizza LOL

Very cool Jeff! Sergio does his usual excellent job on the vocal and the light lyrics made me smile. Maybe because I can relate...I THINK I still remember those days :-)

This is a good one, Jeff. Astute social observation!
As for your favourite poet, it has to be Alex Stangl!
